Turning into your parentsUnable to hold back the genetic tide, I find myself gardening in my carpet slippers, asking for a knife and fork in McDonalds and agreeing with the Daily Telegraph. I'm beyond help - what about you?
Thanks to b3th for the suggestion

I wishMy life's great shame is my complete failure to turn into my ancestors. One of my grandfathers was a general, the other a professor. My father is a respected academic - as well as being a pretty cool chap who turned me onto Hendrix, reggae and surf music from an early age with the same boundless enthusiasm that has also given me a love of history and of learning in general. I grew up in the most amazing houses in some beautiful towns (at one place our garage was an old stables with arrow slits in it).
I live in a one bedroom flat in the East End and can't afford to replace my oven (which broke before Christmas), and my daughter is being raised by a psychopath.
If I could turn into my father and give her the wonderful upbringing I was so lucky to have, I'd be the happiest man alive....
